Neck Pain 101: Clinical Practice Guidelines & Important Research / 1 Credit

Learning Objectives:

• Summarize recent Clinical Practice Guidelines on the chiropractic treatment of adults with neck pain
• Evaluate a clinical prediction rule designed to identify patients
  with neck pain likely to benefit from spinal manipulative therapy
• Determine which side of the upper cervical spine cavitates during a rotatory C1-2 HVLA thrust manipulation
• Breakdown the proposed relationship between neck muscle strength, cervical range of motion and neck pain
• Analyze the influence of neck strength and muscle activation status
  on resultant head kinematics after impulsive loading to the head/neck

Course Reviews:   reviews in this course are also available in MP3 format
